The technical problems confronting different societies and periods, and the measures taken to solve them, form the concern of this annual collection of essays. The book deals with the history of technical discovery and change, and explores the relation of technology to other aspects of life. It also shows how technological development has shaped, and been shaped by, the society in which it occurred.
